I stupidly injured my left hand and it's going to be out of commission for the next 3 months. I usually play Sim racing games and first person shooters.

What games would be available to me in order to keep streaming while only using my right hand? Ideally racing themed.

I can somewhat use my left hand to hold a controller but not use any of the buttons on the left side or the stick and pad.

PS: Don't stick your fingers in a blender without powering it down first. Trust me.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestion everyone, it turns out I already own a lot of these through humble bundles. Time to work through that backlog!

Holy fuck, you blended your hand? Is it okay? Is it intact?

I have a couple severed tendons and lots of stitches, my entire left hand is immobilized and wrapped up.

If anybody ever asks "but will it blend?", you have the answer.
